This summer marks a pivotal moment in the evolving landscape of adult content regulation. With the EU officially investigating major porn platforms over their lack of robust age verification systems—and several US states pushing sweeping age gating laws—debates around online safety, user privacy, and freedom of expression are intensifying.
Join the Digital Intimacy Coalition for a timely and crucial conversation on the future of adult content regulation. This webinar brings together three experts from the worlds of law, tech policy, and porn production to unpack the complex consequences of current and proposed age verification mandates.
This event is free, open to the public, and essential for anyone working at the intersection of digital rights, sex tech, policy, and online safety.
Agenda
Together, we’ll explore key questions:
– What do these regulations mean for platform compliance under the Digital Services Act?
– How do we balance child protection with the rights and privacy of adult users and creators?
– What impact will this have on the adult industry, especially independent and queer creators?
– And ultimately—where do we go from here?
Speakers:
– Svea Windwehr – Assistant Director of EU Policy at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
– Paulita Pappel – Filmmaker, feminist pornographer, and intimacy coordinator.
– Myles Jackman – UK-based obscenity law expert and legal director at the Open Rights Group.
Moderated by:
Ana Ornelas (Pimenta Cítrica) – Advocacy Officer at the Digital Intimacy Coalition. A Brazilian erotic writer and pleasure activist based in Berlin.
